Liquidity provision has been something to be skeptical about even for myself due to token price volatility. However, with the new Impermanent Loss Protection launched by
#STONfi , you can now confidently provide liquidity in the STON/USDT pool, as STONFi offsets 5.72% of the impermanent loss incurred during the event period.
The impermanent loss protection feature makes providing liquidity less risky and builds more confidence in liquidity providers.
ᴡʜᴀᴛ ɪs ɪᴍᴘᴇʀᴍᴀɴᴇɴᴛ ʟᴏss?
Impermanent loss is a DeFi concept that occurs when a liquidity provider adds liquidity to a pool and the value of the tokens in the pool changes significantly (rises or falls) compared to when they were first deposited.
ᴡʜʏ ɪᴛ's ᴄᴀʟʟᴇᴅ "ɪᴍᴘᴇʀᴍᴀɴᴇɴᴛ"
The loss is called impermanent because it only becomes permanent if you withdraw your funds while the token prices are still significantly different from their original value. If the token prices return to their original levels, the loss disappears.
Example
You deposit $100 worth of Token A and $100 worth of Token B into a liquidity pool.
Token A's price doubles, while Token B's price remains the same.
The pool adjusts the ratio of the two tokens, so you end up holding fewer Token A and more Token B.
If you withdraw your funds, the total value may be less than if you had simply held onto your original tokens instead of providing liquidity.

STONFi has set aside $10,000 in STON tokens to compensate liquidity providers in the STON/USDT pool during January. Each liquidity provider is entitled to a maximum offset of $100 in the case of impermanent loss.
